If Maria and Emily *didn't* have a past relationship, there's either a girl both of them dated, or two separate girls-who-like-girls in the immediate area, which really stretches the bounds of conservation of detail. (Not saying it's implausible there *are* more - of course there are probably many more closeted kids at this school!) Though Kylie is out there, it doesn't seem to fit with what we know of Ky.

I'm not sure how to put this, but I really hope Rain is planning to tell Emily soon about being transgender. Emily's part of her group now, it seems, and in addition to the matter of "don't you trust me, Rain?" there's the possibility of Emily overhearing something with no context for it.
I love the fact that so far, your comic has avoided "sitcom humor", so I doubt that things will go in THAT direction (goofy misunderstandings), but still.

I think there is some obligation. Emily has been a good friend and has proven herself to be trustworthy. Her other friends know and she is currently undergoing therapy and having issues with her family related to her being trans, and Emily has even offered to support her unaware of the actual reason for her family problems. I understand that trans people likely don't want to have to continually tell people that they are trans, but at Rains current stage or transition as well as her closeness with Emily not telling would likely just lead to trust issues down the road if Rain is obviously keeping something from her. Especially considering that Emily would, hopefully and quite likely giving her recent attitude, be entirely supportive or Rain. Obviously just my opinion but Emily has been a super friend to Rain lately so it'd be nice for her to be "in" on everything going on in Rains life like she is with her.
